Everyone is familiar with the song, “Your a mean one Mr. Grinch.” “Your a bad banana with a greasy black peel.” How may times do you think that you may of been called a Grinch during the Christmas and Holiday Season? And people “would not want to touch you with a 39 and a half inch pole.” I know that I have, and I have found that at times, Christmas is not a magical season, and is a source of Annoyance, Anger and even Rage (AAR).

One thing in the news that has me up in arms lately (and there have been a few), but this one I am going to write about. I HATE MILITARY POSERS. If you don’t know what I mean, here are just a few examples:

More People Than Ever Pretending to be Navy SEALS – “Only 500 [SEALs] served in Vietnam. And we’ve met all 20,000 of them,” said Steve Robinson, a former SEAL in Forsyth, Mo., and author of “No Guts, No Glory: Unmasking Navy SEAL Imposters.”

This morning, while riding into work, I was looking out the window at the sun rising over the mountains. And I was enjoying the sunrise when we turned and headed towards it. At that point the sunrise came to life. The colors were amazing. It was at that point that I realized that the tint on the side window was not only removing the harsh glare from the sun, but it was also muting the colors. Making the sunrise less colorful and vibrant.

How many times do we allow ourselves to look at life through tinted eyes. How often do …

There is a parable, fable, or allegory about long spoons. The fable goes as follows.

Swami was having a conversation with Lord Shiva one day and said Lord, “I would like to know what heaven and hell are like”.

Lord Shiva led the Swami to two doors.

He opened one of the doors and the Swami looked in. In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew, which smelled delicious and made the Swami’s mouth water.

Albert S. Herlong, Jr was a US Representative for the 4th district in Florida from 1967-1969. On Jan 10, 1963 he read to the house by the request of a Mrs. Nordman a list of “Current Communist Goals,” this list was taken from a book called, “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen. If you would like to see a complete list, you can find it at: http://rense.com/general32/americ.htm. I am only going to list of few of them here to open …

One of the titles that the current media has villainized is that of Prepper. I think it is funny that current media is trying to make anyone who is preparing for hard times is considered a zealot or a nut job. But heck, the LDS church has been telling us to be a prepper for a LONG time now (food storage). There is absolutely nothing WRONG with being prepared for hard times, and having your family in order. The thing that I think they don’t get is that as the LDS Church also teaches is that everything should be done …

Back in February of 2009, I wrote an Open Letter to Politicians. In this letter I stated what qualities I think that politicians should have. I am going to step it up a notch and do a post on my political stance. Basically this is a post that explains where I stand politically, and some of the reasoning behind it. Basically if I were to run for any political office, this would be my platform, as well as the platform that I judge all the politicians I vote for.

Do houses have souls? Most people would tell you that the answer to that question is No. I would have to agree with them, to a point. I don’t think that houses have souls, but I would say that they have a spirit.

Houses are basically containers. They contain the people that live in them, the items those people own, and the at times the family and friends they invite over. Like any container it eventually is changed and either improved or ruined by what it holds.

There is an author out there that is gaining some popularity. His name is Seth Grahame-Smith. He has given us great novels like,”Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”, “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies”, “How to survive a Horror Movie”, and several other classics.

He has now come out with a work that is getting RAVE reviews. The title of this one is, “Unholy Night”, and when I saw it in the book store the other day, my stomach turned.

Here is what the book is about:

From the author of the New York Times bestselling Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, comes UNHOLY
